...signal processor, it accepted the astronauts' voices as well as 900 other signals-telemetric data on heartbeats, for example, pressure readings in the cabin, data from the computers-and imposed them on a single "carrier" frequency of 2,282.5 megahertz. An amplifier increased the signal's power from half a watt to 20 watts, the strength of a small ham-radio transmitter. The 26-in. dish antenna, perched atop the LM, then beamed the signal to earth...
...signals across thousands of miles of ocean and gathering a wealth of weather information. In years ahead, they may be used to monitor crops and survey mineral resources. In metallurgy, extremely strong and anticorrosive titanium alloys have moved from the launch pad to the machinery of chemical and power plants. Several utilities are already testing chemical fuel cells of the kind that Apollo carried to the moon to determine whether they might offer an efficient, contamination-free method of generating electricity on earth...
...Franco's ranks rallied to his proposal because they understand that the regime may need a monarchy in order to survive after his death. Franco's followers fear that Spain, without some institution to maintain continuity, might erupt in civil strife that would sweep them out of power.

...Council of Economic Advisers. If the Environmental Policy Act becomes law, the result may well affect every imaginable special interest-airlines, highway builders, mining companies, real estate developers. As for the effect on federal agencies, Jackson predicts: "The law will immediately hit the Atomic Energy Commission's nuclear power program by requiring the AEC to curb thermal pollution. It will have an immediate impact on all defense programs-everything from the siting of ABM missiles to chemical and biological warfare. It will affect federally financed highway programs and every Army Corps of Engineers project...
